In Australia, there is a super train across mainland, the Indian Ocean-Pacific dedicated train in Australia, (The Indian Pacific Train).
This super train, starting from Sydney, connects Australia's east coast to the Pacific Ocean and reaches Perth, ending in the Indian Ocean on Australia's west coast.
This special train, known as Australia's only Dreamship, can only really appreciate the dream experience if it is caught on a train that travels through time and space. From Sydney to Perth, a total length of 4352 km, lasted 4 days, 3 nights, 65 hours, average speed 85km per hour, the length of the car up to 774 meters.
You can choose from Sydney or vice versa from Perth. Generally, one-way train will be chosen to return to the plane, which saves more time.
Unlike domestic sleeper cars, this special train in Australia has a suite! There's a deluxe queen bed! There's a built-in bathroom! And fine dining! Walking is light luxury travel, so that passengers relax to enjoy the scenery, and all the bus fees are ticket bags, food and drink for the use of! No
Twenty-five bucks of noodles! There's no lunch box for $50! No $80 shampoo! So relax, carry the bag and go! Let's take a look at the settings of the next carriage.
There are two main types, one is the golden car, the other is the platinum carriage (obviously a little more expensive). Both compartments have a bed, which is simply the difference in size. Gold carriages are upper and lower berths that fold into comfortable soft seats during the day, and at night the cabinets will help you unfold into a single bed up and down.
Gold cars are the most popular cars on the Indian Ocean-Pacific special train, so if you travel during the peak season, such as the wild flower season in spring, be sure to book in advance!
The upper and lower bunk of a double suite, as it opens at night, and the left-hand side of the door opens the door and enters the suite as an independent bathroom.
The superior gold double room looks like during the day, upgrading the area of an extra sofa
The bathroom in the golden suite looks like this
A single room in a golden suite, suitable for people who don't want to be disturbed when traveling alone, and very comfortable.
Gold single room has its own wash pool, but the only different place is the bathroom to be common, but rest assured that the cleaning is very clean, and spacious.
Gold suite has been very comfortable, and platinum car space is much larger, you can choose luxury queen bed, but also have two beds, the advantage is not to climb up and down, very similar to the hotel oh!

Take a look at the public area. After all, you can't keep it in your room all the way out. You have to come out to bar for a little drink, come to the restaurant for dinner, and talk to the passengers in the same car.
Bar looks so bright, comfortable and spacious
The caterer is like this.
Meals and drinks are included in your ticket. If you have any special eating habits, please let me know in advance.
The food looks like this.
How, this retro decoration style is not super European style! You want to sit in a rickety carriage with a glass of martini in your hand, the jungle flying by the window, and you read it in detail with a copy of the murder case of the East Express. Aah! No, there's no murder. Only retro.
This train definitely does not just let you spend 4 days and 3 nights in the car, the train stops at the station, will have all kinds of well-organized sightseeing trips, of course, you can choose to join or not to take part, also does not need the extra charge!
We will pass through the legendary mountain of BROKEN HILL, Australia, to experience the local arts and culture and Australian traditional miner sites; Then pass by RAWLINNA, Australia's largest sheep ranch, with more than 80,000 sheep on an endless 2.5 million hectare, leading the Australian shepherd industry.
Heading south to Adelaide, we will pass the world-renowned "Red Valley"-Barossa Valley, to drink Australia's best wine.
Not to mention to Perth, the warmth and delicacy of Western Australia allows you to visit … There are chocolate factories along the way, museums, ah, activities according to the train schedule is very rich, do not worry about no place to play!
In addition to these cultural attractions, of course, the most eye-catching part of the train is the scenery across mainland along the way, from the sea to the mountains, from the shrubs to the jungle, from the Gobi to the desert, from the town to the beach.
All you have to do is relax completely, get out of the hustle and bustle of the city, forget all the troubles, and enjoy the shock of the breadth of the landscape, except probably in Australia, where only trains across Europe and Asia can rival mainland.
Ok, is about to talk about the ticket issue that everyone is most concerned about. After looking at the facilities above, and the difficulty of building this railway, you should be psychologically prepared. This is definitely not a cheap trip with a cabbage price. But as a once-in-a-lifetime project, it's definitely not too expensive. On this four-day and three-night trip, the starting price for the whole journey of eating, sleeping, drinking, washing and playing with the entire package of gold carriages is generally about 2000 Australian dollars per person (around 3000 Australian dollars for platinum carriages).
In the off-season, for example, in July, 1789 Australian dollars per person can be taken care of; if it is half the way, Sydney to Adelaide, that would be between 600 and 900 Australian dollars per person.
The price is not cheap, but the route is still popular among Australians and even the world's tourists. Many travel magazines and institutions have named the special train as one of the Australian projects that must be experienced, and single-room cars sell better than double rooms. Really like to travel long-distance train or advocate independent Wen Qing ah, with cameras, with notebooks, the car door closed, really only you, and the boundless scenery by the window.
Are you moved?
